Typical Price

Southeast Asian subjects by Keith are exceptionally rare, as few shin-hanga artists traveled to the Philippines. This Manila market scene documents colonial-era commerce with vivid tropical color. The unusual subject matter and Keith's tiny editions of 30-50 copies make this a scarce find, typically commanding $1,000-$3,500.
